re: PuttaDaForkDown

No offense, but this is absolutely the dumbest argument I have ever engaged in my life. Let me get this straight.... You are trying to tell me if you took groups, both consuming an equal number of calories. One group does zero exercise. The other group engages in moderate intensity exercise five times a week. There will be no difference in weight loss between the two groups?

I understand that people burn out. People burn out on diet as well. People have to figure out works best for themselves. Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought you were arguing that exercise doesn't aid in weight loss which is an absurd argument.

I think what you're misinterpreting is that he said putting on muscle can stop the scale itself from going down. In that sense, it can cause stalls and slow 'weight loss'. It will, however expedite fat loss, which is the goal in the end anyway.

Yeah most people are focused solely on the # on the scale. I asked someone recently if they would rather lose 80 pds and be 20% bodyfat or lose 50 and be 10% . They said 80. When I asked them why they said they wanted to lose weight.
